This series is dedicated to all of the women scientists out there who are told to repress their femininity to be successful in their fields. My female colleagues and I have been told by our professors and superiors to refrain from wearing makeup or dresses while presenting at conferences, colloquia, and other professional settings. As someone who loves traditionally feminine things like dresses, makeup, and sewing, these attitudes hit very close to home!

Even today, there's this idea that women can't simultaneously be pretty and smart. Which is, quite frankly, ridiculous! We all have to do what we can to contradict that claim, and this is my contribution.

A huge thank you to the cosplayers who helped bring this series to life:
